Lab scope

Interview stories about scanning, SQLi, or Kali tools must refer only to systems you own: host-only lab (Kali 192.168.56.10, Metasploitable 192.168.56.20, DVWA/Juice 192.168.56.30–.50), your Free Tier EC2, or your emulator. Never claim you tested a client, cafe, or classmate device. IT Act sections such as 43 and 66 apply without authority (verify current text). Model answers below stay conceptual and defensive. Lab = learn. Production = defend.
